I helped build a prototype *** for [???] with a wheel hub motor that
had all the starting torque you could handle. The controller reduced
it to a milder acceleration profile.

Instrumenting it to record performance is what set me to designing my
own data logger using a laptop and multimeters. High currents and
common mode voltage issues made using a microcomputer-type data
acquisition module difficult.
